Favre’s Arm

Ron Jaworski was down on the field with Favre before the game and came away with a great anecdote. He asked Favre about his arm strength. Favre put his toes on the 50-yard line and told Jaws to look at the pylon in the front corner of the end zone. He threw, according to Jaworski, a “laser” and smoked the pylon. He looked at Jaws and said (a close paraphrase here): How does the arms look?

Sitting in the stands at Lambeau during the Redskins game, it was clear that Favre was underthrowing nearly everything. (Not just two passes, as someone said on ESPN just now). But what a joke that people were wondering if he was over the hill.
